"What's inappropriate about that? There are no leaders today. Their job is to accompany you and have a good drink. Today, the mother's family is the most important."
Given Lin Tieshan's status, he naturally has the confidence to say such things. In Luoshui City, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face.
"The bride's family is here! Come and sit in the main seat. No one else dares to sit here unless you come."
When they saw the bride's two uncles coming, the leaders stood up from their chairs and greeted the Yuan brothers with smiles on their faces.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, everyone please take a seat."
Yuan Youcai's voice was trembling slightly. Today's appearance was enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.
Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru brought their sister and sat at the secondary main table. Originally, when planning yesterday, Lin Tieshan wanted Yang Baiyi to sit at the main table, but Yang Baiyi refused.
Besides the leaders, there were Yuan Ying's family members sitting at the main table. He didn't feel comfortable sitting at the main table. It would be better for him to sit at the same table with the children.
After all the guests were seated, the kitchen began to serve the dishes, including braised spare ribs, braised pork, four-happiness meatballs, and pork with preserved vegetables. There were four meat dishes just from the wild boar that was hunted yesterday.
Braised lamb, braised lamb chops, spicy rabbit cubes, and pheasant stewed with mushrooms, four kinds of wild game with good color, aroma and taste.
Paired with four refreshing vegetarian dishes, there are twelve dishes combining meat and vegetables. In this era, it is definitely the best banquet.
The main table was served with the internal supply of Maotai, and the other male guests' tables were also served with Maotai.
Apart from the bride's relatives and the main leaders of the government, almost all the others attending the wedding banquet were Lin Tieshan's new and old subordinates and families of military officers.
Lin Xiao’s wedding was more like a carnival in the military district, so Lin Tieshan was not stingy.
The logistics director was scratching his head over the cigarettes and alcohol for the wedding banquet.
The brothers Yuan Youcai and Yuan Youxin sat at the main table, just like primary school students in the classroom, sitting there very well-behaved. They laughed when anyone spoke and drank when anyone raised a glass.
No matter how friendly Lin Tieshan and other leaders were, they could not relax.
After Lin Xiao and Yuan Ying toasted, the wedding banquet ended in a lively atmosphere, and the Yuan family was sent back by military trucks.
A week after Lin Xiao got married, he received commendations from his superiors. This victory was the greatest victory achieved at the national level after the complete victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, so the rewards were very generous.
The soldiers of the First Regiment were awarded the third-class collective merit once, the Special Operations Battalion was awarded the second-class collective merit once, and the commander of the First Regiment, Shi Changqing, was awarded the first-class individual merit for his proper command.
Because Yang Baiyi attributed the credit to Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao became the biggest beneficiary.
Not only was he awarded the title of Special Combat Hero, he was also promoted from the battalion level to the regimental level. After graduating from the Party School this semester, he will be able to report to his new post.
As a 25-year-old regimental-level cadre, everyone knows that Lin Xiao has a bright future as long as he does not commit treason.
As the commander, Lin Tieshan has also entered the sight of senior officials. Lin Tieshan is not yet sixty years old this year and is likely to make further progress in the future.
In the evening, Lin Tieshan opened the ginseng wine again. During this period, happy events happened one after another in his family, and the entire military compound was filled with Lin Tieshan's hearty laughter.
"Lin Xiao, you can never forget the help of your brother-in-law for what you have today.
You have already reached the rank of regimental commander. You will have to walk your own path from now on. In principle, I can no longer provide you with any assistance."
After reaching the regimental level, every step of promotion becomes extremely difficult unless one has made any great achievements.
"Uncle Lin, it's mainly because Brother Lin Xiao has accumulated a lot of experience and has laid a good foundation. However, not everyone has the courage to volunteer to guard the border.
Knowing there was a combat mission, Brother Lin Xiao volunteered to fight, and this is what he deserves."
Yang Baiyi didn't want to take credit for it. He had already given away the credit, so why should he let others keep remembering his good deeds?
"Xiao Yang, you don't have to be so modest. I know how dangerous this incident is even without you telling me.
Lin Xiao volunteered to fight, and his courage is commendable, but if it weren't for you, it's hard to say whether he could come back safely.
If they manage to steal the important data of strategic weapons this time, or if there are too many casualties during the battle, not only will Lin Xiao not be able to make a great contribution, but I will also be held responsible.
My daughter has good taste! She chose you as soon as she arrived in the countryside. Otherwise, our family wouldn’t have such a blessing.”
Lin Tieshan is really happy today.
As long as things go smoothly, his son will definitely achieve more than him in the future.
It is something that every father would be proud of if his son can surpass him.
"You're not angry anymore? You didn't have this attitude when your daughter first wrote to me about this!"
The only person who dared to expose Lin Tieshan's shortcomings in public was Liang Fengxia.
"I had met Xiao Yang at that time! My beautiful daughter had just arrived in the countryside, and she was kidnapped by a rascal. How could a father not be angry?
Later, Lin Xiao went to Northeast China and came back to tell me about Xiao Yang's situation. Didn't I acquiesce to it? This shows that I am still an open-minded parent.
Lin Tieshan raised his head and stubbornly made excuses for himself. He would never admit that he was an old feudal.
"Yes, Uncle Lin is right. A relationship without parental blessing is an imperfect one. I want to thank Uncle Lin for being open-minded and willing to let Wanru date me."
Yang Baiyi is very capable and would never embarrass his father-in-law.
"Dad, Mom, and my brother's wedding, we also attended. We plan to return to Northeast China next week."
While her parents were happy, Lin Wanru also took the opportunity to announce the news that she was going back.
"My daughter, you just got home, why are you leaving now?"
The smile on Liang Fengxia's face froze in an instant, and she looked at her daughter with a look full of reluctance.
"Mom, we've been back for almost two months, and this is just Bai Yi. For someone else, the home visit leave is only half a month."
Lin Wanru held Liang Fengxia's hand and comforted her.
"Has it been two months already? Yeah! It's already March, time flies!"
Happy days always pass too quickly, so quickly that we are caught off guard.
"Bai Yi, are you really not going to come back? As long as you are willing to join the army, I can transfer you back soon."
Lin Tieshan was making his final effort.
"Uncle Lin, I really can't come back now. First, I don't plan to join the army, and second, I have to take care of my grandfather's family. I hope you can understand."
Yang Baiyi, who possesses special powers, couldn't even dodge, so how could he possibly jump in on his own initiative?
"My daughter, I'm sorry for you. I was only thinking about setting an example myself, and I sent your brother to guard the border at such a young age, and I made you, a girl, so far away from home."
After a few drinks, Lin Tieshan began to show his true feelings.
"Dad, if I hadn't gone to the countryside, I wouldn't have met someone as nice as Bai Yi. I can only say that everything is the best arrangement."
Lin Wanru glanced at Yang Baiyi beside her, her eyes full of happiness and sweetness.
